Subject: On Cygwin, use symbolic ref, not a symbolic link, to express .git/HEAD
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.9~200
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4514385edd913f6c10fa03c828effc5ba974369e;p=git.git

On Cygwin, use symbolic ref, not a symbolic link, to express .git/HEAD

H. Peter Anvin says that Samba "promotes" symlinks to hardlinks while
Cygwin itself uses .lnk files to emulate symlinks.  Avoid using symbolic
link for .git/HEAD on Cygwin.

This does not help the symlinks recorded in trees as user data, but
at least we do not use them for our own bookkeeping.
